The Cragg-Donald statistic is a test statistic for the rank of a matrix.
Anderson (1951) derived an earlier and similar test based on canonical
correlations.
-ivreg2-, downloadable from ssc-ideas in the usual way, reports a
generalization of these to the case of heteroskedastic and/or
autocorrelated errors, due to Kleibergen and Paap. The K-P stat reduces
to C-D and Anderson tests in the iid case.
The K-P stat is implemented in Stata by -ranktest-, so you'll need to
install this as well.

As far as I know, critical values have not been tabulated for non-iid
case (and it would be hard to, since the form of
heteroskedasticity/autocorrelation will make a difference to how they
perform).
Either of your suggestions seems sensible to me.
